Personal Statement
My name is Taylor Price and I'm a future graduate of the class of 2017. I have just recently transferred to Cooperstown High School from Richfield Springs Central School. My entire life I have grown up around sports whether I was partaking in the activity or just simply watching. I have played a various number of sports throughout my years of high school. Whether it was organized or not I was always doing some sort of physical activity. I have recently dropped playing other organized sports so that I may dedicate my time better towards academics and improving on the sport that I love. I could not stand the fact of knowing that someone was working on their baseball and getting better, while I was focusing on another sport. I am determined to get better so that I may excel, everyday after school and on the weekends I am ether at the gym or at the field working on my hitting, my fielding, my pitching and/or my baserunning.
I value baseball tremendously, but I consider my education more important. Therefore I am looking for a college that will give me a quality education along with a strong competitive baseball program. Throughout my years of playing baseball I was announced captain of my Varsity High School team as a sophomore for my determination, my leadership skills, and being a fierce competitor, all on and off the field. I do not focus much on personal achievements, for during the season and after the season I am not worried about statistics or how well I did. All that matters to me is that I contributed to the team and that I preformed to the best of my ability so that we had a chance to win.
